THE THROUGH ROUTE.

Circular from milwaukee, Company
Relative to Through Chicago Trains.
A circular bearing upon an important
change in RAINING arrangements has
been issued by the Milwaukee railruad
sompany. This circular says:
Commencing June 5, 1887 the Chicago
Milwaukee and st. Paul railway com.
pany will open Its newly constructed
line between Sioux City and Manila
and via that aud the Council Bluffs
division will operate the SD ttest and
best through route between Chicago,
Sioux City and Yankton.
Pullman sleepers of the most improved
pattern will be run through without
change between Chicago and Sioux
City.
The completion of this new line also
forms a new and direct route between all
points in eastern southern and central
Dakota and Nebraska, central Iowa and
northern Illinois. For further informa-
tion apply to the ticket agents OF the
Chicago Milwaukee and st. Paul rail
way.
From the terms of this circular it does
not appear that there will be any decided
revolution IN railway matters west OF
Sioux City by the new arrangement. 1t
mentions Yankten, but says nothing
about the Jim river route. Sieepers are
to run between Chicago and Sioux City
and the inference might be that the
though trains also cease at Sioux City,
although Ysnkton is named as n OF
the points upon the shortest and best
through route" The Manila line has
been made a part of the Sioux City &
Dakota division and Sioux Oily is there.

The new time card will be issued dur

"Ihe frauds recently perpctrated by
ingenious scamps, who succeeded in
passing off distinctly yellow diamonds
for blue-white gems. besides opening
up a new, or at least revived, mode of
swindling, have doubtless CAUSED con-
siderable uneasiness among owners of
precious stones. In this particular
case the deception was complete, yet
the method employed is 50 simple that
any onc who knows the process could
with comparative case produce like re-
suits.
"Till the Bessemcr process was
brought into use. in 1870, diamonds
were invariably mounted with Il rough

The resemblance is indeed SO perfect
that an expert might be deceived by

according to quantity bought. 1t is
now worth s so to S.. so. The most
important sources Of platinum are the
hydraulic mines at Nizhne-Taglsk and
Forgo-B lagodat, in the Ural mount
aims. About 80 per cent. of the worlds
production comes from this source.
Mex. in Importance are the gold wash

of Colombia. About u per cent. OF
the entire product comes from this
source. 1t is also found in Brazil, Bor-
neo, Hayti, Peru, India, Australia and
in the sands Of the Chaudiere river. in
Quebec, 1t has recently be found in Il
quartz vein in Now Zealand. The in
terest in the deposit lies in the fact OF
the extreme variety Of platinum in
place. -.
Platinum has been found in small
quantities in various parts OF this coun-
try, associated with fee gold in placer
deposits, but it is only from the placers
of California that it has been produced
in merchantable quantity. which
amounts to between 100 and 200 unccs
per annum, and is sold at Is cents per
troy ounce. 1t contains about 81 per
cent, of the metal, and is shipped to
London to be refined. The platinum
used in this country comcs almost en-
tirely from Russia, and the imports
amount to between 1000 and 5000
pounds annually.
Platinum .orc." as it is called. con-
tains iridium, rhodium. gold, copper
and iron. 1t is sometimes, though
seldom, found crystallized in cubes
and octahedrons, but more usually in
rounded or fiattencd grains, or ''sand,'
having n metallic lustcr. 1t is very
rarely found IN place, but mixed with
placer gold sands.
The principal consumption OF plati-
mum is in the manufacture OF chemical
apparatus. but within the past few
wears tho use Of i%ncandescent electric
lights, and also gas jets made luminous
by a heated platinum spiral, have
caused an increased demand for the
metal, and the steady rise in price dur
ing the past three years may be re-
ferred to this cause. - deorgetoWn

Some Interestiog Astronomical Facts
Which Are Not Generally Known.
On the 20th of March, at five p. M.
| the sun crosses the line and the astro-
nomical spring commences. We call
the great time mark the vernal cqui-
nox. for, as the words signify, day and
night are equal and spring has come.
But the sun did not cross the cline or
c%uuinoctial where he did last year, but
fifty and a quarter seconds of a degree
behind it. This intinitesimal quantity
of recession which takes place every
year constitutes what is called the pre-
ccssion of the equinoXcs. Small rs the
quantity seems, since astronomical lcc-
ords have been preserved the recession
amounts to thirty degrees, or a whole
sign. The rctrograde movement Of the
cquinoxes gives to the stars an apparent
procession. AS the point where the
sun crosses the %cquinoctial each year
is the astronomical starting point, there
must be II constant increase in
the longitude of the stars, whose r;sings
and settings as recorded by the old
Latin poets by no means correspond
with the present observations. The
cause Of this strange motion has been
discovered. 1t is found that the poles
of the earth have n ''gyratory' motion
around the poles of the ecliptic. moving
at so slow a pace that $4,000 years are
required to complete the cycle, com.
plete the recession around the ecliptic.

committed by unknown persons. The
peasant Marakine and the two BROTH
ers Antonoff were all three kept hang
ing for several hours on a sort Of I'M
provised strappado. They we're
stripped of their clothes and their
hands tied behind their backs by n
rope, which was then passed over Il
rail fixed high in the wall of an ice
cellar. The bodies of the unfortunate
men were then raised from the ground
80 that they could hardly touch the icy
ground with the tips of their toes. The
ooriadnik appeared now and
then, asking for their con-
f~essions and giving them blows on
the head as they refused to com
ply with his wishes. One of the three
victims, the peasant Marakine, OF the
way to the torture-chambcr was sub
jected to no less infamous treatment.
The testimony of the elder of the vii
lage is particularly noteworthy.
''Herassimotf (the ]ooriadnik) came to
me and asked whether l could lend
him thirty men. why do you require
so many?' l asked. In order said he,
pointing to Marakinc, that may
make this fellow run the gauntlet
The witness answered that he would
never permit such things to be done
with the peasants of his commune.
whereupon Marakine had his hands
and legs tied. and was fastened by the
legs to the back of the car. while his
body was allowed to drag upon the
ground. The horse was made to run.
and Marakine was dragged in the mud
for about ten yards. Then Herassimotf
said to the elder: Bring me some
straw; burn him Il little But wit
